John Lewis Field at Roy S. "Spec" Keene Stadium is the home for the Willamette University Bearcats and the American Legion Withnell Dodgers baseball teams. It is located within Bush Pasture Park, adjacent to McCullough Stadium (home of Willamette University football and track). The facility was built in 1989 and includes chair back seating (in part of the grandstand), a clubhouse, dugouts and a concession stand. In 2009 the school worked to laser-level the infield, also building new lockers and two covered, lighted batting cages. The stadium is two block south of the Willamette University campus.

His Willamette football teams won 9 conference championships in his 17 years as coach. Keene later became athletic director at his alma mater, Oregon State University, from 1947-1964.
